2016 TVS RTR 450 AT Dakar Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around TVS's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2016 TVS RTR 450 AT Dakar relies on a 449 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.0 x 63.5 mm (3.7 x 2.5 inches).

On the scales, the RTR 450 AT Dakar measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry.

The 32-liter (8.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
